Overview

You can use the following procedures for automatically collecting documents of all posting levels:

In addition to collecting the documents in the data stream Documents , automatic data collection of documents updates the totals data in the data stream Totals Records .

Constraints

Flexible upload of documents with posting level 30 (business application Consolidation of Investments ) does not allow you to transfer the activity number of the source document. For more information, see Automatic Data Collection of Activities .

Standard Rules for Writing Documents

If the system is not able to replicate the documents of the source data to the documents in the target data with a one-to-one (1:1) relationship, then which documents are written depends on their posting level and document type . The table that follows shows which rules the system uses when writing documents:

Due the missing document numbers, the source data cannot be written to the target data with a one-to-one (1:1) relationship. Thus, the system writes the documents using the aforementioned rules. The two records with the pair C1000/C2000 are written as one document. The same applies to the two records with the pair C1000/C3000 .

Reference Document Number

If the system is able to collect and write the documents with a one-to-one (1:1) relationship (for example, when copying documents of the current period), the system saves the number of the source document in the target document in characteristic Reference Document Number (InfoObject 0BCS_DOCNRR). The document number of the target document is generated by the system. The reference document number allows you to refer back to the source document.
